@info: "Why isn't anything ever done about the football supporters in Rome?
I am assuming it was a Roman that stabbed the Man U fan? If not and it
was a Barca fan that would come as a big surprise to me because its
usually okay with spanish and english we get along. It's only certain
countries and teams where we always have probs.
This has happened before in Rome a number of times mainly Roma fans
but some Lazio as well. It happened to Leeds, its happened to
Liverpool, I'm sure its happened to Arsenal as well(?). Nowt ever gets
done about it by Uefa or the Itie police who are a part of the problem
and thug element in Rome and Italy in general.
I think supporters of all teams should complain about this to our FA,
to Uefa and elsewhere too otherwise nowt will happen again and we'll
just have more English football supporters stabbed in Rome in the
future and it could be fatal. It's just gonna keep happening isn't it?
It's not really about whether its a Man U fan or Liverpool fan its
beyond football and team loyalties and rivalries and if something aint
done and people don't comlain about it then it could be you or a
supporter of the team you follow it happens to next time, and it could
be fatal.
Tough luck tonight but I'm sure you'll be making it back a couple more
times in the next half decade with the manager and team you've got! I
think Barcelona played some pretty spectacular football this season
and deserved it. I think it was fair and square.

    @cjmuk2008: "Stabbing like this (usually in the buttocks) was an Italian thing 
(called 'puncitate') in previous decades - it's a way of hurting your 
opponent without much risk of killing him. All Italian Ultra's agreed to 
drop this habit some years ago - with the exception of Roma who contiue 
the practice - in fact, it is regarded with pride as their 'trademark'.
Much of the bad blood that led to Heysel is thought to have stemmed from 
Liverpool's 'Train to Hell' in 1984. Liverpool fans were given an escort 
from the Italian borders to the stadium by police, but were offered 
little protection; Roma fans stabbed the lines of Liverpool fans at will 
on the way to the stadium and again on the way back - with the Police 
happily looking on.

So if the authorities have had 30 years to address the issue, but 
haven't, do we really expect anything to happen now."
